Outright plays (1.5 units):
Paul Casey to win 20/1 e.w. @ Bet365 and BetInternet
The young pretender is retained as a selection yet again. As stated in previous weeks and still true, apart from the British Open, his worst finish in Europe this season has been 13th and he has won twice already in 2003. He was 3rd here last year and will surely earn a considerable amount of Ryder Cup points this week en route to gaining an automatic place in the team. He is capable of winning any event in Europe and this week is no exception.
Adam Scott to win 22/1 e.w. @ Bet365 and Victor Chandler
Scott can certainly claim to being another of the young pretenders and it is important for the next stage in his career that he has now won on the PGA Tour. As in the past in Europe, he won the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship sprinting away from the field. It is also worth remembering that he won his last event in Europe as well, the Scandinavian Masters last month. Like Casey, he is capable of winning any event in Europe in particular and that cannot be said about too many of the last European Ryder Cup team who are out in force this week.
Alex Cejka to win 28/1 e.w. @ Bet365, Sportingbet, Sporting Odds, BetInternet and Victor Chandler
If Cejka can repeat his form of the last twelve months in the next twelve, he will be in the next Ryder Cup team. He followed victory in the 2002 Trophee Lancome with the gaining of his 2003 PGA Tour card at Q-School and he won't need to go back again this year following his 2nd place finish in the B.C. Open and 4th place in the PGA Championship. In his sole European Tour start this season, he finished 2nd in the BMW International Open three weeks ago, the same position that he finished in this event last year. He coped with home expectations at Nord-Eichenried and should again finish as leading German.
